Study: Smoke particles from wildfires can erode the ozone layer

An MIT study finds that smoke particles in the stratosphere can trigger chemical reactions that erode the ozone layer — and that smoke particles from Australian wildfires widened the ozone hole by 10 percent in 2020. This map shows the size and shape of the ozone hole over the South Pole on Oct. 5, 2022.

MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy

Emissions from coal-fired power plants increase atmospheric concentrations of climate-destabilizing greenhouse gases and health-damaging air pollutants. Combined climate/air-quality policies could help reduce those concentrations and improve public health.

MIT researchers determined that 1 billion autonomous vehicles, each driving for one hour per day with a computer consuming 840 watts, would consume enough energy to generate about the same amount of emissions as data centers currently do.

A new way to assess radiation damage in reactors

One of the most effective ways to control greenhouse gas emissions, many analysts argue, is to prolong the lifetimes of existing nuclear power plants. But doing so requires monitoring the condition of many of their critical components to ensure that damage from heat and radiation has not led, and will not lead, to unsafe cracking or embrittlement.

Earth can regulate its own temperature over millennia, new study finds

A study by MIT researchers confirms that the planet harbors a “stabilizing feedback” mechanism that acts over hundreds of thousands of years to pull the climate back from the brink, keeping global temperatures within a steady, habitable range.
